Gas stations adjust their pricing several times a day in some cases. For the record, I am against this hourly charge for EVs… maybe I’d be ok with it if the parking lot had a parking fee and the kWhs were gratis.

Ism’t that just automatic dynamic rate adjustment based on demand?

Sec. 4.  Using National Security Assets for Law and Order.  (a)  Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General and the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the heads of agencies as appropriate, shall increase the provision of excess military and national security assets in local jurisdictions to assist State and local law enforcement.
(b)  Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Attorney General, shall determine how military and national security assets, training, non-lethal capabilities, and personnel can most effectively be utilized to prevent crime.

Following ones will surely be lethal capabilities. We’re cooked.

Damn that is an astute observation.

That picture will always look like stable diffusion generated to me.

1/12th down, hopefully only 11/12ths left to go.

This looks pretty interesting and has self hosting options via docker.

I’m out of the loop. What is it for?

Lactose-free milk is a thing, in case you’ve never heard of it.

Well for the RAM upgrade scenario, they solder the RAM directly on the motherboard so it’s nearly impossible to upgrade it, but as far as I know, they don’t prevent the machine from using it once it’s been upgraded.

Brother printers do not intentionally degrade print quality based on whether a Brother Genuine or non-genuine ink/ toner cartridge is used. Brother cannot verify the quality of printing that will result when using a third-party compatible with a Brother printer.

Could you imagine if your PC refused to boot because you didn’t put Genuine OEM RAM in, instead using GSKILL?

A typical data center rack holds about 40 servers, each with at least two networking interfaces. According to Boote, the Ethernet interfaces of a single rack draw 160 watts in total.

“Reducing the power draw of a data center, which may have hundreds or thousands of racks, would be akin to an energy savings of switching a building from incandescent to more energy efficient LED lighting and be well worth the investment,” he told LinuxInsider.

According to Boote, this optimization fixes a part of the kernel written when lower-speed Ethernet interfaces drew a fraction of today’s electrical needs. The networking stack design did not account for the growing power budget required by modern networking interfaces.

“By changing the priority of how the computers schedule tasks during high bandwidth events, a computer can better deal with networking traffic and prioritize energy expenditure in a way that makes sense for modern hardware and architectures,” he reasoned.

Oh boy, where do I even start? This comment is wrong in multiple ways. Let’s break it down:

1. “The way triangulation works is by essentially measuring distance.”

   • Nope. This describes trilateration, not triangulation.
   • Triangulation uses angles, while trilateration uses distances. GPS works via trilateration.

2. “1 satellite distance puts you anywhere in a radius (circle) of that satellite.”

   • Kind of, but missing a crucial detail:
     • A single satellite defines a sphere around itself (not just a circle—you exist in 3D space).

3. “2 Satellites puts you at 1 of 2 locations where those radiuses intersect.”

   • Wrong. Two satellite distance spheres intersect to form a circle, not just two points.

4. “3 satellites gives you a single location.”

   • Mostly right, but incomplete.
   • In theory, three satellites narrow it down to two possible points, but one is often out in space or somewhere unrealistic, so it can often be ruled out.
   • However, because your device lacks an atomic clock, it typically requires four satellites to synchronize time properly.

5. “That’s why it’s called triangulation. Tri = 3”

   • Nope. GPS does NOT use triangulation.
   • The “tri” in triangulation comes from angles, not the number of satellites. GPS uses trilateration, which is based on measuring distances, not angles.

Final Verdict

This comment is a trainwreck of incorrect terms and flawed explanations. If they meant “trilateration,” at least part of it would make sense, but calling it “triangulation” completely ruins their credibility.

So, in short? No, their comment is very incorrect. 🚨

Are you on Chrome?

on my devices

See that’s where we’re fucking up. If a company can install things on ”your” devices, it’s really their devices.

I would have enjoyed a short animation of the planks materializing in place showing how the structures were built with them to help understand the destruction better. Pretty cool either way and relaxing music.

Exactly!

It has not worked for me in over a year to the point I’ve had to use other apps like Swiftfin (is also broken, I compiled it myself to fix a few things but never could get my code upstreamed), or SenPlayer or Infuse. SenPlayer works well enough honestly, but I am glad to see active development of the Jellyfin iOS app!

I came up with this idea more than 20 years ago as a way for cars to tell each other about events ahead of them. Imagine if you’re on a two-lane road heading away from an deer and you pass vehicles going the opposite direction. Your car could relay that information to then and have it age out after a few minutes.
